Q&A Highlights
Question: Which is a better software for HA and replication? Arcserve UDP or Double-Take?
Answer: You've correctly identified that Arcserve UDP Premium Plus (f.k.a. RHA) is a direct competitor to Double-Take in the area of asynchronous replication. Bottom line is both solutions are good. Double-Take has the advantage in its support for HP-UX. We feel that Arcserve UDP has the easier process when it comes to "fail-back" to the new Production environment. When you do your POC, be sure to test this functionality. Full system or full server failover is another beast that you have to test carefully, especially if it's in a cluster. Sorry, I don't have enough direct experience to say which is better (I'd have to go ask my pre-sales engineer). Disclosure: we resell both products, although the majority of our experience is with Arcserve.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

    Hi, while I’m not an expert in this field, through my investing research I keep hearing that Attunity Replicate is by far the best software out there for replication.
